10 Secret Ways Video Games PUNISH You For Acting Stupid

6. Children Are Non-Combatants - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty is known for a lot of dark and controversial moments, the iconic "No Russian" scene at the airport being a prime example of this.

However, even this title has a limit, and that limit is killing children... Especially if you keep acting dumb about it!

During the mission "Clean House," you and your team participate in a house raid. In one of the rooms you come across a terrified mother with a child, and the obvious moral choice is to simply let her be.

However, the more insidious players can choose to shoot at them, and although the game does let you shoot the mother (be it reluctantly), when you attempt to shoot the baby, it will instantly fade to black, reminding you that "children are non-combatants."

Now, this is where most curious players would stop, but those who have trouble reading or enjoy trolling the game can continue to attack the child, and this will actually change the message.

At first the game will simply act disgusted with you, but after a few more attempts, it will force quit the mission, being absolutely done with your nonsense.

You just had to act like a sane person for one scene...
